Rent NowWell-suited for subjects ranging from portraits to wildlife, the Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 55200mm f/45.6G IF-ED is a telephoto zoom designed for DX-format F-mount cameras, offering an 82.5300mm equivalent focal length range. This reach makes it effective for isolating subjects and capturing distant detail with compression and perspective control.
Optically, the lens includes one extra-low dispersion (ED) element to help reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, improving overall clarity and color accuracy throughout the zoom range. A Super Integrated Coating is applied to minimize flare and ghosting, helping maintain better contrast in strong or challenging lighting conditions.
Autofocus is driven by a Silent Wave Motor (SWM), providing quiet operation and full-time manual focus override. It uses an internal focusing design where only internal lens groups move during operation. However, autofocus performance is relatively slow by modern standards. Vibration Reduction (VR) helps stabilize handheld shooting by compensating for up to three stops of camera shake, improving usability in lower light or at longer focal lengths.
A rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to smoother background blur and more natural-looking out-of-focus areas.
Condition note: There is visible internal growth that may be fungus. It does not appear to affect image quality at this time. Autofocus performance is slower than average.
